It runs by itself. You confirm.

  • One address more

    Forward a document by email. That is the entire change to how you work.

  • Checked automatically

    Certificates, quotes and invoices are read and checked without manual entry. Your person just confirms.

  • An archive that answers

    A customer wants a certificate? Ten seconds, with the full heat trail.

  • Orders prepare themselves

    The proposal, the RFQ and the purchase order wait ready. They go out only when you click.

  • The morning arrives prepared

    Stock, delays and prices arrive on their own, by email at 7:00.

Sound familiar?

Three kinds of paper consume hours of your best people every day.

CERTIFICATE

One mill test certificate carries 40 to 120 data points, for steel, stainless or aluminium. Today someone retypes them by hand, while the customer wants the certificate now.

QUOTES

Supplier quotes arrive by email, get compared in Excel, and validity dates quietly slip by.

INVOICE

Since 1 January 2026 the e-invoice is digital. The delivery note and the certificate are not. So the control loop never closes.

One system, three modules

Together they cover the whole job of purchasing. We introduce them in the order they prove themselves: Dokumenti first, because it proves itself immediately.

Dokumenti

AI reading, validation and archiving of certificates, quotes, delivery notes and invoices. Every value carries proof: the exact spot on the document it was read from.

Radar

A morning briefing for management: stock coverage per branch, delays, missing certificates and price movements. By email at 7:00, before the working day starts.

Petlja

From reorder proposal to all quotes in one table and a prepared purchase order. A person confirms every step.

How it works

1

Forward a document by email or drop it into the system. Everything stays as it is, just one address more.

2

The AI reads the document, in any language, checks chemistry and mechanical properties against the ordered grade, and links the heat number to the purchase order.

3

Your person confirms with one click. Each value shows its proof: the spot on the document it was read from.

The system knows the EN grades and forms you carry: from S235JR and 1.4301 to EN AW-6060 and CW614N.

The whole purchasing loop

Eight steps from need to paid invoice. The system runs them, you confirm the key ones.

  1. 01 Reorder proposal RUNS ITSELF
  2. 02 RFQ to suppliers RUNS ITSELF
  3. 03 Quote comparison RUNS ITSELF
  4. 04 Purchase order YOU CONFIRM
  5. 05 Receiving and certificate RUNS ITSELF
  6. 06 Three-way match RUNS ITSELF
  7. 07 Claims YOU CONFIRM
  8. 08 Morning briefing RUNS ITSELF

Every automated step carries proof, a permanent log and an undo button. You choose the level of automation, step by step, and can lower it at any moment.

We change nothing

Rollout climbs a ladder, step by step, at your pace. There is no IT project.

DAY ONE

Email and file upload.

WEEK ONE

One nightly stock table from your system.

LATER, IF YOU DECIDE

Reading data directly from the ERP.

NEVER

Writing to your ERP without human confirmation.

Security and data ownership

Five commitments we sign before the first document. No fine print.

01

Data is processed and stored exclusively in the European Union.

02

You get a dedicated instance, for your company only.

03

Your documents are never used to train third-party models.

04

Every action, human or machine, is permanently logged.

05

We sign a data processing agreement before the first document, and a full export of all data is available at any time.

What we measure in the pilot

We sign the criteria before we start. Measured on documents you choose.

Who it is for

For management

Control and good order towards standards. A morning business briefing at 7:00, and the knowledge of suppliers, prices and grades stays in the system. Modernisation without risk: a pilot with a fixed price and measurable criteria.

For purchasing

Hours returned to the day: negotiation instead of retyping. Your buyer remains the authority who teaches the system, and the system remembers every correction.

For IT

Read-only, no writing to the ERP. A dedicated EU instance, a data processing agreement, a permanent log of every action and a full export at any time.

Knowledge that answers questions

Every document, heat and price is linked into a knowledge graph. Ask in plain language, the answer arrives with proof.
